Jennifer Huffaker, a young mother and widow, is one of two protagonists in Did I Expect Angels? She was widowed eighteen months earlier and has not dealt well with her new lot in life. Two days after Christmas, she is making final preparations to commit suicide and finds she must refill her prescription. At the store, she runs into Henry, a Costa Rican immigrant of 40 years and a casual acquaintance. He senses her emotional state and decides that tonight is the night he will help her. At a diner, he tells her his lifeβs storyβhis poverty-stricken youth, his marriage and immigration and considerable struggles with his new life in America and his family. As he talks, Jennifer relives her own storyβmeeting and marrying her husband, the birth of their daughter, his death, and the ugly emotional aftermathβand we weave back and forth between the two until the end, when they come together in a surprising way. Jennifer realizes the magnitude of what sheβs almost done, and that she has what she needs to go on.
